Stainless Steel Mirror Protection Film Installation Guide

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools: clean soft cloth, dust removal stickers, scraper cards
  • Ensure all tools are free from stains and impurities
  • Work in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment
  • Verify protective film size matches the stainless steel mirror
  • Confirm full coverage of the area needing protection

2. Surface Cleaning

  • Dampen soft cloth with clean water or specialized cleaner
  • Gently wipe stainless steel surface to remove oil, dust, and stains
  • Apply slightly more pressure for stubborn stains (avoid hard cloths)
  • Dry surface thoroughly with clean cloth
  • Ensure no moisture remains to prevent bubbles or poor adhesion
Note: Never use abrasive cleaners that might scratch the mirror surface.

3. Alignment & Application

  • Gently peel back a corner of the protective film's release layer
  • Avoid touching the adhesive surface with fingers
  • Align film edge precisely with mirror edge
  • Pay special attention to special shapes or holes
  • Initially adhere the peeled section to mirror surface
  • Gradually remove remaining release layer while applying
  • Use scraper card to smooth from center outward

4. Post-Application Troubleshooting

  • For bubbles: push air outward using scraper card
  • Small bubbles may disappear with gentle pressure
  • For trapped dust: lift film slightly and use dust removal sticker
  • Check all edges for complete adhesion
  • Resecure any lifted edges with firm scraping motions
Tip: Work slowly and methodically for best results.
